Rex didn't stop growing until his glowing silhoutte was taller and more muscular than anyone else in the room, even Ryan. Gradually the golden glow dissipated from his skin. Where there had once been Michael's flea-bitten pooch was now a figure of great regal bearing. He resembled the King, only younger with strong features and an angular jaw, and a slim silver crown nestling in the mane of dark hair. His blue doublet studded with emeralds stretched across his wide chest.
"Whoa... Rex..." Jessica drooled, a flush entering her pale skin.
"Bark bark!" the fresh Prince shouted ecstatically, throwing himself at Michael. His new weight knocked his owner clean off his feet, throwing him hard to the floor with a delicate Oof! escaping his lips. Rex crouched over him, licking his face excitedly while Michael shrieked and squirmed.
"Lucky," Jess muttered under her breath.
"Strange as this may be, I think it solves the mystery of what has gone wrong," the King stated. "Evidently the two of them have somehow switched roles. No doubt Rex was intended to be our maidservant for the duration of the simulation, while Michael was meant to be a Prince. There must have been a mix-up of the Personality Chips, probably as a result of inserting Rex first during that hostess' little demonstration."
"Somebody get him off me!" Michael screamed. The Queen whistled. Rex leaped off the trapped maid, seating himself obediently at her skirt.
Ryan could barely suppress his smirks as he helped his brother to his feet, his face now coated in saliva. "Three guesses whose bed Rex is sleeping on tonight," he whispered too quiet for the others to hear.
"Get lost," Michael growled, shoving him away. To his dismay, this had even less effect than usual. His slim arms pushed against Ryan's chest and achieved nothing. In his new form, Ryan loomed a solid two feet over him. He gave Michael a hard shove, sending him staggering back across the throne room.
"Do that again and I'll have you beheaded."
"Boys! No fighting!" Turning to her husband, Susan said. "We can't have Michael feeling left out all the time that we're here. There must be something we can do?"
The King looked thoughtful. "Other than somehow contacting an admin, I'm not sure what we can do. Clearly she's a woman of low-birth, which means I can't just grant her a title. Unless..."
